Sorry, that username is too long
I need a unique username to identify you.

This will need to be verified before you'll be able to log in.
I won't spam you - honest! But I need a way to get in touch if there are any problems. It's also useful to be able to reset your password if you forget it.
The students in your group won't need to provide email addresses. I just need one contact per class.
I'd love to know a little about how this tool is being used, so if you don't mind sharing how you think you might use this, I'd appreciate it.
Is it for a school lesson? After-school group? Coding club? Something else?
By checking this box, you accept responsibility for any fees or charges incurred on IBM Cloud.
Please read the notes below. If you're concerned about any of this, or have any questions, please get in touch.
Setting up this tool to allow your students to train machine learning models will require some access codes (called "API keys") from IBM Cloud.
"Do I have to pay for that?"
  • No.
  • Creating an account on IBM Cloud is free.
  • There is a limit to the number of free API keys you can create.
  • Watson API keys you can create for free have usage limits. You can choose to pay IBM if you want to increase these limits. It is these charges that are your responsibility.
"Will my students need to do this?"
  • No.
  • This is a one-off setup task that you will need to do as the teacher / group-leader.
  • Students in your group will not need to create an account with IBM Cloud.
  • Students in your group will not need to visit IBM Cloud.
"How will I know how to do that?"
"Do all projects require IBM Cloud API keys?"
  • No. Machine learning projects to recognize or predict numbers, images or sounds do not require API keys. Projects using pre-trained models do not require API keys.
  • Only machine learning projects to recognize text require IBM Cloud API keys.
If you're concerned about any of this, or have any questions, please get in touch.
